Title: where to post about the Anglo Saxon runes Post by: winter night on February 19, 2011, 01:53:19 PM I have been looking at the Anglo Sazon runes ALOT! Just wondered where any comments about these should be posted? I am sure there is a place somewhere - just cant find it!
many thanks! Title: Re: where to post about the Anglo Saxon runes Post by: Grymdycche on February 19, 2011, 01:59:51 PM Hi Winter Night,
I guess.. for now, the regular rune discussion forum is fine. Was there a specific rune you wanted to discuss that's not in the Elder Futhark? I can always expand the forum, if need be. -Grymm Title: Re: where to post about the Anglo Saxon runes Post by: winter night on February 20, 2011, 03:09:34 AM no specific rune at the moment, I just wouldn't want to start messing up your threads.
I just want to make sure if I post comments about the way a rune symbol 'looks' others won't get confused if they use Icelandic runes for example. I suppose though an easy way is I can begin by others know its from this set, but keeping it within the main runes section - is that the way to do it? Likewise I will need to be aware of this if others are posting about the symbols of the Icelandic or Old Norse ones! I want to learn about the others too so keeping everything together for now would be useful. many thanks!

If you're discussing a rune that exists in both the Anglo Saxon Futhork as well as the E. Futhark, I don't see why you couldn't put it in the E Futhark section (at least, for now); but if you want to discuss a rune that's unique to the Futhork, such as Æsc, Iar, or Ear, hmm.. perhaps I should make a separate board for that. I'll start working on it.

I want this place to provide the richest framework for discussion possible. I expect the forum to expand anyway, I know there's no way I could have anticipated all the various needed boards and categories. It's kinda fun, actually. I've created a new category, however, creating the separate boards will take time. I'll probably dedicate a separate board for each of the 9 additional runes. (Os/Æsc, Ac, Yr, Iar, Ear, Kalc, Gar, Cwearð, Stan) It should be interesting considering there are no poems for the last four, but at least there are subscribed meanings, I'm guessing from other surviving Anglo Saxon literature. |
